forming a part thereof.

The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved construction ofmounting means for a motor engine device which are to be mounted onopposite sides of a supporting wall with the shaft connections extendingtherethrough. It consists in the elements and features of constructionshown and described, as indicated in the claims.

In the drawingsr The figure is a section axial with respect to the motorshaft of a motor and a driven device which are mounted upon oppositesides of a Wall by means embodying this invention.

In the construction shown, A represents a wall on the opposite sides ofwhich there are mounted a motor and a device to be driven by the motorby means of a shaft extending through thewall. The motor may beunderstood to be a water motor of which B is the casing and B the rotor.The driven device will be understood to be an alarm device of which C isthe hammer arm which is rotated by the motor shaft for striking theball, E. Any other devices, respectively driving and driven, mounted onopposite sides of a support, as a wall through which the shaftconnecting them extends, ma be substituted for the water motor and a armdevice respectively, without departing from the spirit of thisinvention, The motor casing or frame, D, and the alarm frame or hellsupport, E are secured to the opposite ends of a tubular connecting andjournal bearing member, F, which extends through the wall. In thistubular member the shaft, a, by which the motor drives the alarm hammeris journaled and longitudinally stopped in any suitable and convenientmanner, the details of which do not require description for the pur 3086of making the present undcrstood. n the tubular journal bearing member,F, at opposite sides of the wall there are placed washer plates, G, G,for hearing against and engaging with the 0pposite walls, respectively,the engagement for holding the washer plates non-rotatable about thetubular member, E, being by a .lug, g projecting from the washer platenear its circumference and entering a hole cut in the wall for thatpurpose. The motor casing, 1-3, comprises a terminal fitting, 13 whichconstitutes the means of securing the casing onto the tubular journalbearing member, E; and this terminal is spherically convex at the endfrom which at the center the journal bearing member, F, extends, saidspherical convexity, b being adapted to seat'in the spherically concaveseat, 9, formed upon the outer side of the washer plate. At the oppositeend there is provided, screwed onto the end of the tubular journalbearing member, E, back of the bell support, E a nut, H, which is convexat the inner side for seating in the spherical concavity, g, ofthe ofthe wall.

g It will beunderstood that the construction described will beassembledon the wall by inserting the tubular journal bearing member, F,which'has first been screwed onto the terminal of the motor casing withthe shaft of the motor properly extended through and journaled in it,and with the right hand washer plate, G, positioned on it,through thewall in which an adequate aperture will first have been made. The otherwasher plate, G, will then be passed onto the tubular member, F, andengaged with the wall, followed by the nut, H, which will be screwed upagainst said washer plate, the spherical seating of the washer plates onthe one hand, and the motor casing ter minal and nut on the other hand,permitting the washer plates to accommodate themselves to the planes ofthe two opposite sides of the walls which may not in all cases beparallel. In the particular structure shown, in which the actuateddevice is the alarm bell hamw-ashcr plate at that side mer, thebell-supporting bracket, which cormember, E; and for holding it at thisposition the washer plate, Gr, at this side has an aperture, 9, which isengaged with the stud, of, projecting from the bracket, D, for thatpurpose. This expedient may also be made to serve the urpose of lookingthe nut H, by making 1 1 13 nut peripherally notched as seen at h, thenotches being at.

short intervals circumferentially, that one of them may certainly beregistered with the aperture, at the position at which the nut becon'iestight, so that the stud, d entering said aperture will also enter anotch of the nut.

1. In combination with a driving and a driven rotor, a shaft whichconneets'them; a journal bearing member for said shaft adapted to;extend through a supporting Wall or the like; washer plates on saidjournal bearing member adapted to be lodged against and engaged with theopposite sides ofvthe wall. and stop members secured on the journalbearing member, said stop members being seated on the washer platesrespectively, the oo-operating faces at such seatings being sphericallyconcave and convex respectively, one of the stop members beingadjustable along the bearing member for adaptation to the thickness ofthe wall. 7 2. In combination for mounting on 0-pposite sides of a wall,a motor and a device motor casing terminal and said nut lodged againstthe wall at opposite sides thereof, said washer plates on the one hand,and said terminals and nut on the other hand, 'ha'IH' mg co-operatingseats which are respeci lively spherically concave and convex, forpermitting the washer plates to accommodate themselves'to'the plane ofthe wall surfaces on which they are respectivly seated.

3. In the construction defined in claim 1, foregoing. the adjustablestop being a nut screwed along the journal bearing member for itsadjustment, and means carried by the journal bearing member outside saidnut for locking the nut.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Chicago, Illinois,this 3rd day of March, 1922..
